Frederick Yandrisovitz – Designer

Upon realizing his great deal of respect and appreciation for the perfection, detail and preciseness of a fresh set of blueprints, Frederick S. Yandrisovitz embarked on a career in Architecture/Interior Design. He began by learning the now “dying art” of hand drafting when he was 15 years old. While concentrating most of his interest on architecture, he soon advanced and started using the computer-aided design program, AutoCAD Release 9. As time progressed, so did Frederick’s knowledge and interest towards design. He set in motion a personal goal to learn as much about construction and jobsite management as he knew about design. He worked on-site, and with hands-on experience he learned the many trades and talents necessary to make any sized project successful.
Frederick received his formal education from South West Texas State University (Texas State University) at San Marcos, Texas. He enrolled and declared his major to be Interior Design; Family and Consumer Sciences. Although registered and attending classes, he also continued to work in the “contracting/construction” industry to support his financial requirements and further his experience. Coinciding with his education, the knowledge that Frederick continued to acquire spanned from carpentry, electrical, and plumbing, to being a Project Supervisor of several major projects; making way for a well rounded designer. In addition to his major, he also minored in Art and Technology. Studying the history of furnishings, architecture, art/music, and furniture design/construction, Frederick has found that he incorporates and uses his knowledge in design every day.

Frederick has won past awards for the 1st place design of trade show booths at the annual Texas Apartment Association conventions. Upon completion of his degree in 2007, he accepted a lead design role with an award-winning design firm in Austin, Texas. While working at Bravo Interior Design, his works and projects have been published in national magazines such as Trends Bathroom 2008, Trends Kitchen 2008 and Luxe Magazine.
